HORSEMEN REJOICING.
POOl-Seiiing on Horsc.Races Les
gal i'm New York


NEW YORK, May 26.-The Ives bill,
permitting of poolselling on race-tracks
under certain restrictions. became law
at midnight without the Governors sig
nature. In a memorandum to be filed
with the bill, Governor Hill says he per-
mits it to become a law without bis sig
nature because it involves no consiitu.
tional questions and no political
question about the parties, which are
divided. 1t had full, fair and deliber-
ate discussion in both Houses and in the
public press for weeks before its passage.
1t presents question upon which public
sentiment seems to be greatly divided.
and one popularity within the province
of the Legislature to determine. 1t is
urged, and with much show of reason,
that this bill, which presumably keeps
pace with public opinion, will be gem
orally enforced, and will, in its practical
working, actually diminish the total
quantity of pool.selling within the State.
The Governor further says the bill is in
the same line of policy as excise legisla.
ton in its discretionary features. He
throws the responsibility upon the Legis-
lature and refuses to commit himself
either way. There is great rejoicing
among horsemen over the event.

BREAKING A BANK.
Riverside and san BernardinO
Bankers Try lie a Whack.

SAN BERNARDINo, May 26.-The
First National Bank of this city is owned
about equally by certain parties here
and in Riverside. For some time past
a bad feeling has existed between the
two factions, which to-day nearly ter.
minated serio usly. Each faction had
elected its Board of Directors. The
matter stands this way. The present
President, j. Ii. Smith, and the Cashier,
Ned Crandall, belong to the San Ber-
nardino board, and the Riverside board is
claiming right to substitute l.. G. Gill,
ex.Sheriff of this county, as the cashier,
in place of Crandall, TO carry into effect
their purpose. They commenced remov.
ing the locks from the doors in the bank,
which was at once resisted by Smith
and Crandall, when active hostilities
commenced in earnest.
The resort to weapons was promptly
stopped, which for moment promised
trouble. The outsiders, headed by Chief
of Police Thomas, of this city. were
promptly on the scene of the difficulty,
and have since kept the contending
parties separated. Each has its legal
adviser on the premises, and it is hoped
all difficulties will be adjusted without
further trouble.

PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD.
The Ministers and Laymcn who
Were Nominated.

PHILADELPHIA, May 26.-Clergymeu
from Maine to Texas and from the At.
lantie to the Pacific were in attendance
this morning at the opening of the
Twenty-ninth General Assembly of the
United Presbyterian Church of North
America. There were present abeut
three thousand delegates, comprising an
equal number of ministers and laymen.
The opening prayer was followed by the
election of a new Moderator. The con.
test was of especial interest, since it in
volved the instrumental music issue,
over which the church for some time
has been divided. Two nominations
were made, namely: Rev. Matthew Nc
Cormick Gibson, ID. D., of San Francis
co, an earnest advocate of the organ,
and Rev. j. q. Carson, of Xenia, Ohio,
an anti.instrumental candidate. The
result of the ballot was a decided victory
for the advocates of the church organ,
and it indicates how this issue will be
disposed of later in the session. Rev.
DR.. Gibson received l29 votes and Rev.
Mr.. Carson So.
DRAWING THE COLOR LINE.
ST. LOUIS. May 26.-The attention of
the General Assembly of the Southern
Presbyterians was entirely occupied to-
day by discourses on the advisability to
organize union with the Northern
church. Rev. j. M. Potts strongly ad.
vocated the union to be effected Just as
soon rs it can be accomplished on terms
and conditions safe and honorable to
both sides. The animosties engendered
by the war should be forever over. The
Episcopalians and Bsptiss had united
with their Northern brethren and now
it was the proper aim for the
Presybyterians to do likewise. Rev.
c. X. Vaughn, Of Lexington, Va, spoke
against the majority report. He
thought the church could not change its
relations as quickly as business men and
politicians, and laid particular stress ON
the color line, and after time he said:
"Y on will see the elegant black gentle.
man offer his arm to your white girl,
and she will gratefully accept it.
Rev. B. M. Palmer, of New Orleans.
reviewed the issues of the war; and bit
terly arraigned the Northern church for
what be called "the ejectmeut of lS6l,"
and followed it with an infammatory de-
nunciation, ringing in the color lin e that
was the cause of the split in 1861, and
was the cause of the dissention now.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, My 26.-Gen.
Thomas Rosser, of the late Confederate
army, is in this city. In an interview
held with him relative to his trip
through the Shenandoah Valley, he
said: 1.-THE newspapers throughout the
country have grossly misrepresented and
slandered me, in attributipg certain
motives and passions which they claim
were the main inspiration of my letter
concerning General Sheridan's contem.
plated parade up the Shenandoah Val
ley. In the first place, have no polit-
ical aspirations; and there is no man,
North or South, who is in more
perfect harmony with, and better
satisfied with the final adjustment
of political differences between the
North and South, and now am accused
of Grants order, behind which Sheridan
so readily retires. Though cruel and
severe, it fell far short of the extremes
to which Sheridan carried it. Sheridan
went to work without regret or CON-
junction. In saying this of Sheridan, l
wish to cast no reflections upon the
brave and loyal men of his command,
who were compelled to obey bis inhu-
and barbarous orders.
